Nie Canjun approached Bai Shan and asked, "You guys are hiding in the hay separately? But how do you ensure that the boxes containing them won't be lost in the battle?"
Bai Shan pretended to be profound and said: "I can't guarantee it. I can give up all my luggage when I'm desperate."
Nie Canjun thought so too, they had indeed given up all their luggage before, if Guo Zhao hadn't arrived with reinforcements, those luggage would have been gone in the end.
That…
Bai Shandao: "This is just to reduce losses. If we hadn't encountered a force with such a large difference in strength like the Tubo Army, we could have given up some and kept some. At that time, I can guarantee that what we give up is the one with the least value. luggage, keep the biggest one.”
Nie Canjun suddenly realized and was convinced.
Bai Shan is smart and has a good memory. Although he thinks he can't remember what's in so many boxes, and he has to distinguish the value of each of these boxes that look similar or even the same, but Bai Shan should be able to do it. arrive.
Man Bao on the side heard it, and couldn't help but lower his head to have fun. Anyway, the matter was done, naturally despite what he said.
At the same time, it seems to have opened up a new world.
It turns out that not arousing suspicion is not only a way of concealing and hiding, but also a way of confusing.
If you don't want people to doubt your real behavior, then you have to arrange a reasonable fake behavior for their suspicion. You don't need to explain it. If you are half-revealed like Bai Shan, everyone seems to be able to come up with better reasons automatically. .
Thinking of this, Man Bao became excited and wanted to try his idea now.
She glanced at Bai Erlang and the others who were sorting things out according to the list, and went to Nie Canjun pretending to be deep, "I need to find a place and find some people."
She handed him the paper she took out from Keke just now, and Nie Canjun took it, thinking that she kept it close to her body all the time, so she couldn't help but be more solemn.
On it is a place name, and a long list of names.
Nie Canjun couldn't help asking, "This is?"
"This is a village and the names of the people living in it. I want to find this village and the people in it." Man Bao paused and said, "It's just that this village is a bit special. In 2009, Xizhou was not stable, and I don’t know if they are still there.”
Before joining the army, Nie fought a battle with the Anxi Army. Although the time was short, he lived and died together. He still made a few friends in the Anxi Army.
In terms of entrusting someone to do things, it may be more convenient than Zhou Man and the others. After all, Guo Zhao has been busy recently, and because of his father's relationship, he may not come recently to avoid embarrassment for both parties.
Nie Canjun took the paper and said with a smile that he would try his best.
I thought that some of the treasures would be left behind, or things were hidden in that village, and we might only be able to see them again when we go back, but now the things appeared in front of everyone, and the soldiers and guards were all excited.
Morale, which had been sluggish due to the heavy casualties, rose instantly, and slowly healed from the pain of losing his comrades. Even the soldiers who lost their hands and feet were happy, and decided to keep the gold and silver well. After returning, they would be retired. This money is enough for them to live for a lifetime.
The thoughtful ones encouraged them: "Take the money back, how much is it now, how much is it when you go back, it's better to take it out and buy something, and once you return to the capital, you can at least make a fortune."
"Don't talk nonsense, what if you lose money?"
"How could it be a loss?"
"Why not?" The wiser and more cautious human said: "There is nothing absolute in this world. Drinking water may get stuck between your teeth. Isn't it common to lose money in business?"
He said: "I think this is enough. This is free money. We can just hide it and take it back. Joining the army is also good for us, and Mr. Zhou is also kind. Otherwise, remnant soldiers like us would be thrown on the side of the road. Or it is normal for us to report back to the capital. Now that the adults are willing to keep us and take them back, there must be a settling allowance when we return to the military camp. With this money, it is enough to support a family of several people. So don’t be too greedy, lest you stumble.”
Many people dispelled the thoughts that had just arisen.
"Tsk, you are too courageous. There is no shortage of gems and spices in the capital? Although we have little money, we have to stay in Xizhou for a long time. We will carefully search for one or two items and bring them back. We will definitely sell them to the nobles." There is no shortage."
"Hou San, if you want to do this business, you can do it yourself, don't push other people," Cao Dade couldn't help but said, "Why is it so easy to find a nobleman? If you buy something but can't sell it, the gems and spices It should not be eaten or drunk, especially the spices, which will lose their fragrance after a long time, and may be broken on the road, when the time comes... "
He didn't finish his sentence, but the soldiers understood that it would be worthless at that time, and it was inevitable that it would be thrown into their hands.
Hou San complained a few words, and muttered: "We don't know each other, but Mr. Zhou and the others do. It's still the same as this time. When we go back, we will give them all the things to take with us, and we will drag them to sell them when we return to the capital." …”
At this moment, even the wounded soldier was silent, "Isn't this a fight against Michou? We don't want to embarrass adults like this."
These words reached Bai Shan's ears somehow, Bai Shan smiled and said: "Then go and tell them, when we set off again, the trade route should be opened, and there will be horse thieves on the road again. Most of them would not dare to rob a convoy as big as ours. Moreover, gems and spices can be faked, if they can’t tell the real from the fake and the good from the bad, it’s best not to buy these things.”
"However, it is not difficult for them to make money. They can consider buying some edible spices, such as pepper, which are also expensive and can be easily sold in the capital."
Then some guards passed these words back, and the soldiers began to think about it.
Nie Canjun couldn't help but came to Bai Shan to thank him, and also talked about the gold and silver left by the fallen soldiers. At that time, Bai Shan compiled the list and handed him the list and things together.
Nie Canjun originally thought about taking the gold and silver treasures they got back and distributing them to their families, but now he couldn't help but want to do something more.
"Their families are all average. Some people have not only old parents, but also wives and children. They are all young. In the future, they will need to spend a lot of money to get married, and they have been living. So I thought it would be better to marry them. The money is counted as part of the share, and after buying things, sell them when they go home, and then divide the money.”
Bai Shan frowned, "What if you lose money?"
Nie Canjun laughed and said, "Didn't you say that you want to buy edible spices..."
Bai Shan said: "That's a small amount, not to mention that these spices need to be well preserved. You transported so many spices to the capital at once, and everyone can't eat pepper, right? It's definitely impossible to sell it all at once. But military families can’t afford to wait.”
